If \(0 < x < y < 10\), then \(A(x, y)\) represents the area of the region bounded by the number line, the semi-circle, and the vertical segments at \(x\) and \(y\), as indicated by the shaded region.
\(0 < a < b < c < 10 \)
Quantity A |
Quantity B |
\(A(a, b) + A(b, c)\) |
\(A(a, c)\) |
A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Refer attached figure
A(a,b) is Area of the shaded region in blue + A(b,c) is the area of the shaded region in green
Clearly sum of these two is equal to the area of the shaded region in red = A(a,c)
So, both quantities are equal.
So, Answer is C
Hope it helps!

If you visualize the question in your mind then: A(a,b)+A(b,c)= area between a and c
A(a,c)= area between a and c
So the answer is C.
A(a,c)= area between a and c
So the answer is C.
